The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

Lu Chen's single eye locked onto the red light emanating from the assassin's chest.

"Blood Fiend Talisman".

Three hundred years ago, the Nine Infants lineage already enjoyed using such despicable methods.

They drain the life essence of a living person, seal it in a talisman, and forcibly stimulate the body's potential.

After it's used up, not even bone fragments are left.

"act recklessly."

Lu Chen flicked his wrist, and the longsword drew a silver arc in the night.

"Clang!"

The side gate of Shen Family Manor was wide open.

Forty-nine disciples strode forward, each carrying a long sword.

They quickly formed seven Seven Star Sword Formations, blocking the entrance to the Shen family's gate.

The dozen or so elite warriors at the forefront had already arrived.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he felt no pain. He thrust the military-grade triangular dagger in his hand straight at Lu Chen's face.

Lu Chen stood still, without moving a single step.

He casually swung the longsword.

Sword energy pierced the air.

The heads of the three suicide soldiers at the very front rolled to the ground in unison.

"kill!"

The lone wolf roared from behind.

The five hundred assassins went completely mad and surged toward the Shen family's gate like a tidal wave.

"Draw your sword."

Lu Chen issued the order.

Forty-nine longswords were drawn simultaneously.

The sound of swords clashing drowned out the screams of the assassins.

A black suit meets a black windbreaker.

This was a one-sided massacre.

The disciples of the Punishment Hall cultivate the way of killing and swordsmanship.

Every thrust of the sword is aimed at a vital point.

The assassin felt no pain; even after his arm was severed, he continued to bite with his teeth.

The disciple of the Punishment Hall remained expressionless, severing the opponent's legs with one sword and piercing his heart with the next.

Limbs flew everywhere, and blood stained the asphalt road in front of the manor.

Tong Dahai huddled next to the right rear wheel of the Porsche Panamera.

He covered his mouth tightly with both hands, not allowing himself to make a sound.

My crotch was wet and cold; I had already peed.

One of the assassins was kicked away and slammed heavily into the door of the Porsche.

The car window shattered, and half of the assassin's body hung from the window, blood flowing down the car door and dripping onto Tong Dahai's head.

He regretted it.

He really regretted it.

What "national little sister"? What "sky-high traffic"?

This is a world that ordinary people like him can never experience!

All he wants now is to go home and drive away that secondhand sports car with the loan still outstanding.

"Help……"

Tong Dahai prayed frantically in his heart.

"Someone, please save me..."

The battle lasted less than five minutes.

Of the five hundred suicide soldiers, more than half have fallen.

The rest are still charging forward recklessly.

Lu Chen pierced the lone wolf's throat with a single sword strike.

The lone wolf stared with bloodshot eyes, its hands gripping Lu Chen's sword blade tightly.

"The Daoist sect...cannot stop them..."

Lu Chen's wrist jerked.

The sword energy erupted, blasting open the lone wolf's chest.

He drew his longsword, wiped the blood off the blade, and looked up at the night sky.

The pervasive smell of blood in the air suddenly became extremely viscous.

An extremely cold and chilling aura pressed down from all directions.

"Form ranks!"

Lu Chen shouted.

The forty-nine disciples instantly regrouped and retreated to the front of the Shen family's main gate.

He pointed his longsword diagonally at the ground, ready for battle.

The outskirts of Jiangcheng.

Above the abandoned cooling tower.

The elder glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Midnight, the hour of Zi (11 PM - 1 AM).

"The time has come."

He suddenly ripped off his black robe.

Its withered body was covered with dense, eerie green runes.

"Nine Infants' Severed Meridians, Arise!"

The other four elders simultaneously tore off their black robes.

Five extremely dense black auras suddenly erupted from their bodies.

A strange aura surged into the sky, converging in mid-air to form a massive black vortex.

"Walk!"

The Grand Elder took to the air.

The four followed closely behind.

Five dark figures, carrying overwhelming malevolence, rushed straight to the western outskirts of Jiangcheng, their target being the Shen family manor.

Wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and yellowed, and birds fell to the ground.

At the same time.

One hundred meters underground in Jiangcheng, at the Tian Shu Branch Command Center.

The piercing red alarm suddenly blared out without warning.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Lin Xue sat in front of the control panel, her hands frantically typing on the keyboard.

He stared intently at the giant radar screen in front of him.

In the center of the screen, five huge, dark black dots are moving toward the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng at an extremely fast speed.

"team leader!"

Chen Feng strode into the command center.

He was still wearing combat gear, with two specially made long swords hanging at his waist.

"What's going on!"

Lin Xue swallowed hard and pointed at the data on the screen.

"Five S-class energy sources!"

"Appearing simultaneously! Moving at high speed!"

Chen Feng gasped.

A single A+ grade Smiling Corpse Buddha forced them to prepare to die for the city.

Now five S-class ships have arrived!

"Where is the target location?"

Chen Feng placed his hands on the control panel

Lin Xue retrieved the trajectory prediction chart.

A red line stretches from outside the city to the western suburbs, its endpoint firmly locked at a single coordinate.

"Cloud Top Villa District... Shen Family Manor!"

It's the Shen family again!

Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Everyone assemble!"

Chen Feng pressed the full-frequency broadcast button.

"Squads one through five, bring all heavy weaponry! Bring out that psionic annihilation cannon from the warehouse that hasn't finished testing yet!"

"team leader!"

Zhao Yue rushed in from outside the door, his face deathly pale.

"Five S-class ships? Going there would be suicide!"

"We have to go, even if it means dying!"

Chen Feng drew his long sword, his eyes resolute.

"Tian Shu's duty is to keep monsters out of reach of civilians! If Jiangcheng is slaughtered by five S-rank monsters, we'll all have to commit seppuku!"

Chen Feng turned to look at Lin Xue.

"Contact headquarters in Beijing immediately! Request the highest level of support!"

The capital city, the headquarters of Tian Shu.

Zhou Ce stood in front of the large screen, watching the real-time data transmitted from the Jiangcheng branch.

"The Nine Infants lineage..."

Zhou Ce gritted his teeth and recognized the unique energy waveform.

"These lunatics have come out in full force!"

Zhou Ce grabbed the red secure telephone from the table.

"Contact the Central China Regional Garrison Commander! Order all A-level and above combatants to immediately board the special plane and proceed to Jiangcheng!"

"Notify the Jiangcheng Military Region to block all roads outside the western suburbs!"

Zhou Ce put down the phone and placed his hands on the table.

He looked at the coordinates on the screen that represented the Shen family manor.

Even if the fifty sword cultivators of the Righteous Path Punishment Hall joined forces, they would absolutely not be able to stop five S-rank evil cultivators.

Unless, that man thousands of miles away makes a move again.

Shen Family Manor, on the western outskirts of Jiangcheng.

All the streetlights were turned off.

Dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight.

Five dark figures hovered above the manor.

The immense Yin energy transformed into a semi-circular black barrier, completely enveloping the entire Shen family manor.

The connection between heaven and earth was severed.

The formation was completed.

The Grand Elder looked down.

Outside the gate, Lu Chen stood with his sword in hand, while forty-nine disciples in black suits stood ready.

The ground was littered with the corpses of assassins, emitting a strong stench of blood.

"Lu Chen".

"Hand over those four treasures, and I will leave the Shen family with their bodies intact."

Lu Chen raised his head.

He reached up and took off his dark sunglasses, then threw them on the ground.

He stared intently at the five dark figures in mid-air.

He slowly raised the longsword in his hand, the tip pointing directly at the Grand Elder.

"The Hall of Punishments is here."

Lu Chen's voice was extremely cold, revealing a resolute killing intent.

"If you want to enter the Shen family, you'll have to step over my dead body."

P.S.: I just fell asleep while writing. Please continue to support me, I will keep working hard!
